It was noisy. It was chaotic. It was wonderful. And the best part? Having this little one home. Be still my heart. To have her here, with us this year, was the greatest gift we could have ever imagined. But the kids wanted toys, too For some crazy reason. Tallula got a Frozen snuggle-thing. Whose one-size-fits-all sizing is evidently for… Read More
Christmas cookies
This Christmas we are paring down. 1. because we want to 2. because we have to Last year we pared down a lot. And it was good. But the Lord has continued to open our eyes to the all ways He has gone before us. And continues to walk alongside us. There is nothing that we need that we don’t… Read More
I’m gonna miss ’em.
So what does a mama do, when she should be packing for China? She ventures into the fall-colored woods with her kiddos and takes pictures of their sweet faces. Because she’s gonna miss ’em. Crazy to me that I’ll be leaving in a little over 24 hours. And I’ll be away for 2 whole weeks. Away from all these shiny… Read More
orphan sunday
Today is Orphan Sunday. We watched a video in church that was created to celebrate all the children who have come home to families in our church through adoption. Some from Ethiopia. South Korea. Alabama. And a few especially adorable ones from China that, when their faces flashed across the screen, might have made me tear up a little. Especially… Read More
the daily
In July, on a challenge from my friend Lisa, I dusted off my Instagram account. And it’s been true love ever since. I was a bit wobbly starting out, not quite sure how to pick and choose what to post. But I’ve since decided to pursue pictures that very much represent *real-life* to me… the things that intrigue me, inspire… Read More
because He loved us
Wow. Just wow. It’s been four days since our fundraiser ended and I’m still basically speechless. Over 700 people gave. Over $36,000 was raised. And over 1500 Found shirts will be printed and worn – God’s people carrying His Word on their back on behalf of one little girl, halfway around the world. Speechless. So I thought pictures might better… Read More
Lula Mae
A week ago, Lula asked to play *dress up*. Which really is just Lula asking permission to rummage through her closet, pull 90% of the clothes off the hangers, and pick an outfit she deems to be a dress up kind of outfit. On this day, she chose a hot pink tutu and a t-shirt that said Joy. (I posted… Read More
sisters
We went to the Lifeline family reunion yesterday at Veteran’s Park. And I brought my camera along. But, let’s just say, I ended up doing a whole lot more talking than picture taking. And I came home without a single shot. But the day wasn’t over yet. I was standing in the kitchen watching the girls furiously coloring the cup… Read More
out and about
It’s summer. And all my babies are home. My most favorite time of year. And there is so much I want to squeeze into the time we are all together – all fun stuff, of course. But the truth is, we just don’t get out a whole lot. For several reasons. 1) I am a homebody 2) “We” is a… Read More
it’s summer, continued.
A few days ago I posted about the “school kids” and their last day of school. Today I’m following up with the littlest three. And then I’ll cover the “homeschool kids”. Slow and steady. …………………….. First is our littlest peanut, Tallula. Tallula is 39″ and 33 pounds. That means she has grown 2 inches and gained one pound since I… Read More
